AT&T Announces iPad Air Activations Up 200 Percent Compared To Last Year’s Launch

At least for AT&T, launch weekend for the iPad Air was a success.
Even though the carrier didn’t announce hard numbers in its media release, activations were up substantially compared to last year’s launch weekend of the fourth-generation tablet:

“iPad activations on AT&T increased more than 200% over the past three days compared to last year’s launch weekend, driven by consumer excitement around the new iPad Air and the popularity of AT&T Mobile Share, which lets customers add an iPad to their existing data plan for just $10 a month. We also saw strong demand for AT&T Next, which offers customers an iPad for $0 down on the nation’s fastest and most reliable 4G LTE network.”
